A galvanometer of resistance \(100 \Omega\) requires \(10 \mu\) A current for full scale deflection.
Now a resistance of \(1 \Omega\) is connected to convert it into an ammeter. The minimum
current required to obtain full scale deflection is

  1. A \(101 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  2. B \(1 \cdot 01 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  3. C \(11 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  4. D \(10 \cdot 1 \mathrm{~mA}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1 \cdot 01 \mathrm{~mA}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} I &=\left(\frac{G+S}{S}\right) I_{g} \\ &=\left(\frac{100+1}{1}\right) \times 10 \mu A \\ &=1010 \mu A=1.01 \mathrm{~mA} \end{aligned}\)
